[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: [WSIS-CT] Civil Society Draft Priorities Document

[czielinski at supanet.com]

Sally,

I'm a little concerned about the Council of Europe being mentioned - for
some reason I haven't seen in these lists any discussion of their recent
"Declaration on freedom of communication on the Internet (Strasbourg,
28.05.2003)"
http://www.coe.int/T/e/Communication_and_Research/Press/News/2003/20030528_d
eclaration.asp#TopOfPage which occasioned quite a bit of debate on the ISOC
ISDF list, mainly around the topic of a "right of reply", which some found
onerous to ISPs and to individual journalists and writers on the Internet.
Since the Council of Europe is not an institution of the European Community,
can we not just drop the name wherever it appears in our paper? It adds
little in any case.
